Happy National Physical Therapy Month!
National Physical Therapy Month (NPTM) is celebrated every October to raise awareness about the benefits of physical therapy and to honor the professionals who help improve lives through movement and rehabilitation. This year, the theme focuses on "falls prevention." More than 1 in 4 Americans fall each year, and falling once doubles your chances of falling again.
Here are a few Fall Prevention Tips:
- Exercises like yoga or Tai Chi improve stability and balance, decreasing the likelihood of a fall.
- Resistance and impact training can improve bone mineral density, which will help minimize injury in case of a fall.
- PTs & PTAs can perform Falls Screenings to help patients assess their risks and create gameplans.
DON'T TAKE IT FROM US, HEAR WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY:
"The courses that are available are good courses and the selection is good for what I want right now. The prices are reasonable. The courses are approved by the relevant state. The instructors that I had for the two courses were both good and did a good job.."
Steven M.
“Love the variety of topics available. Current topics and evidence based information are utilized. With so many demands on our time being able to study at my convenience, without expensive travel costs, is worth so much. Easy to register and access resources for each class.”
Kathy A.
"My experience was great! The topics/courses offered were more than appropriate for my position in the healthcare field. Material covered was thorough and presented in a palitable way (easy to understand). There were no breaks which I liked and of course you can't beat the convince of taking the course in your own home. Took the anxiety down several levels with the ease of signing up. Great job!!:).”
